This is a good side dish to serve with richer dishes. It’s light and zingy which is just what’s needed sometimes. Another great combination of flavours suggested by Sabrina Ghayour.
Carrot, pistachio & dill salad with lime & honey dressing – serves 4 to 6
- 500g carrots, coarsely grated
- ½ a small red onion, thinly sliced
- 75g pistachio nuts, roughly chopped
- about 30g of dill, finely chopped
- 2 tsp nigella seeds
FOR THE DRESSING:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- finely grated zest and juice of 1 lime
- 1 generous tbsp of runny honey
Mix all the dressing ingredients together and season well with sea salt and black pepper.
Put the other ingredients into a large bowl. Add the dressing when you’re ready to serve and toss gently to coat. Check the seasoning and serve.
